Colorado Travels for Two Matches in Texas

BOULDER – Colorado will take the court on the road against two top 50 teams as the Buffaloes look to end a five-match losing streak against No. 20 Baylor and No. 44 TCU.

No matter the record, Colorado will compete across the net in each match against whoever is there. This weekend is no different.

"We are looking forward to getting back and competing against Baylor and TCU," head coach Anthony Pham said. "Baylor and TCU are both good teams and will give us good opportunities to continue getting better."

The team will continue to take positives from every single match. One of those positives has been doubles. Colorado has secured the doubles point in seven straight matches and 10 total this season. No matter what pairings have taken the court, success has followed.

"In any match, there's plenty of positives you can take," Pham commented. "For us, we have to keep focusing on those positives, doubles, obviously being one of those. At the end of the day, we just have to keep doing the right things. When you're doing the right things, keep focusing on executing in those situations and controlling what you can control. Doubles obviously have been a positive for us, and that's something we would like to keep doing."

With the success in doubles, the team has looked to find their wins in singles. Last weekend, Pia Rebec was the only player to win her singles match on both days. She has started to find her footing in singles, winning three of the last four matches, all in straight sets. This spring, Rebec is posting a 6-3 record in singles.

Looking forward to this weekend, Colorado will have the opportunity to compete against two teams that haven't been common opponents. Starting on Friday, the Buffs will look for their first win against Baylor since 2007 and the first win in Waco since 1998.

This is the second time the team has traveled to Waco after some of them competed in the Baylor Invite in September. They will make the trip one more time for the Big 12 Championships at the end of the season. This will be the first night match on the road this season; action will start at 5:00 p.m. on ESPN+.

Following on Sunday, the team will stay in-state to take on No. 44 TCU for only the fourth time in program history. The Horn Frogs have won all three matchups so far, with two coming in Fort Worth. This will be the first time competing against TCU since 1998. Doubles will begin at 12:00 p.m. on ESPN+.

Each match is different and has a different makeup, and Pham wants his team to attack each match controlling what they can, "Every match is different. Every match and every team we play is different. Whether it's at home or away, they're just completely separate entities. For us, it's just attacking each match, each team, each day to the best of our ability. Just focus on the things we can do; Focus on what we can control. Keep doing the right things and whatever is in our control, we will continue to focus on that."
